[outdated] Caustic Arrow Solo Map MFer (20/300+)

Thanks for the guide, so far doing good on 1M league and 1 shotting most packs. If possible, could you give me few tips regarding gear or the tree?



And this is my gear, currently I have 21/204(+55 from gem) (Haven't found an empower to use, so was using iir gem, and all my currency is being saved for a second andvarius):

Thank you for clearing out the multiplicative and addictive bonus for gems which I wasn't aware of.

This means a carcass jack is indeed an unavoidable piece for me in the near future, granted, I only need 5L so that makes matters slightly less complicated.

The costly thing will of course be the bow, something like 15ex+.

My pleasure. Glad I could help.

If you have access to level 8 Catarina, you'll be able to craft a 6-link +3 bow for much less than that. See the FAQ section in the first post of this thread for more details.

@spekatju

The tree is pretty self explanatory. There's a full workup about the progression in the guide OP. Continue adding life, if you don't need the resistances swap the scion nodes from the res side to the proj damage side, get frenzy charges, fill out the rest of the Acro branch. Whatever you feel you need most.

Gear wise, it looks like you have enough MF to get an Andvarius, then +3 bow, then Drillneck, then last Andvarius.

One more thing. I'm running low on wisdom scrolls but I'm sure I'm doing something wrong. I shouldn't bother picking up all the rares right? What kind should I pick up from now on? Obviously jewelery, belts, bows, wands, what else? Is there a list of all the things that are worth picking up to not waste scrolls?

Get a portal gem if you don't have one. Because you will be picking up literally all the rares that you can fit. For the first 1-2 portals of the map you can pick up whatever, but if you notice that you're likely to run out of portals, prioritize everything that isn't a 2h'er with the exceptions of bows and staves (for +3 rolls).

I've been MFing full-tilt since Ambush/Invasion and I've never had a scroll problem. Portal gem solves a lot of it, but you should also be vendoring all the scraps and whetstones you find in addition to keeping no more than one full stack of transmutes and vendoring every excess transmute you find.

As it stands, I have three full tabs of scrolls in Standard and I've been forced to actually stop picking up scrolls.

If for whatever reason you still find yourself depleting, run your Museum maps or do Archives runs for the Scholar card.

manaegd to get a super brodeal com an andvarius for 20c, so got it and took aurseize off,dunno if that was better, but I got more iir and more mov spd. Just need to upgrade my ammy for some res to cap some there is left.

One last question, should I regal my bow now, or craft no atk mod on it first? Still newbie in crafting.

Alrighty, as for my other question, should I use the bow I just dropped and 5l/6l it or sell it?

If you aren't currently using a +3 bow, then yes, you should definitely 5L/6L it and use it yourself.

Ideally you actually want to start by mastercrafting a suffix on a white bow, then regal/scour/regal etc. until you regal +2 on its own.

* Then master-remove the suffix
* Then multimod / no attack / random suffix / random prefix so you only have one prefix left
* Exalt +1
* Master-remove so you're left with just a +2/+1 bow
* Then multimod again and get two resistances on it to make gearing everything else easier.

You would want to be working with a ilvl 64+ short/grove/thicket bow or maraketh, depending on your preference for higher base attack speed or the implicit movement speed.


If you can't afford doing the ideal craft like I did:



Then just regal / no attack / exalt spam.

I don't sadly. Even if I did I'd still have no access to leo's damage over time mod which I refuse to get cause I hate PVP and just refuse to play it so my only choice will be to buy one that has +3, damage overtime leo mod and after that, well, resistences preferably. I actually have no master level at level 8. I have elreon at 7 which is my highest, everything else at 6 or 5 and leo at 1 which is the only level he'll ever have as well as no place within my hideout even if he tecnicly ocupies no one's place (cause he stinks :P ).

hello sir; took a look at your build; we have pretty much the same skillpoints but I am leaving out acro and going hybrid armour/evasion and stacking as much regen as I can via frenzy charges (8, actually)

Thanks for your guide on gems and what modifiers work best as I wasn't totally sure. Can't wait to try this out tonight when I am off work :)

edit: made my bow today. bow cost 3 ex as I bought it already linked a year ago. Took 1 alt to get +2 gems (lucky, eh?) then I put the cata mod on (1 ex), regal'd and failed with a LHoK, then failed with an exalt (sort of) with fire res then on 3rd ex, hit the +1. This bow cost me 6 ex, 1 regal, 1 scour to take cata mod off and 1 alt lol. All I need to do now is put DoT on and exalt the last stat. So final total of the bow will be 8 ex max :D (I don't know how much Leo mod is)

I'm needing a little help. I decided to roll this build for the one month flashback event. Everything has gone great up until lvl 76, I can't find anywhere to lvl where I'm not dying super fast. I would say my gear is alright except the bow. I have the bow, I just can't seem to roll the correct colors. I would really appreciate any and all advice so that I may be able to hit 85.

@ Saranghaeyo_ - deal, sir.. I forgot about poor Haku and his powers lol
